      Dr. Jenny Isaksson: What do you mean by "real"?

      Dr. Tomas Jacobi: To hear a human voice and trust that it comes from a human who is made like me, to touch a pair of lips and at the same time know that it is a pair of lips.

    Very interesting, very well acted, and powerful.

    This is a very good film. You better watch it after you have seen some of th other Bergman movie, because its one of his more complicated movies.

    A psychiatrist suffers from something she cant understand. We will join her in her search for redemption. On the way will see complicated relationships, dreams with a deep meaning, and metaphoric visions. Very powerful moments in this movie. Those who love Bergman are sure to enjoy this, this is one of the best of his 70s/80s movies.

    Except the interesting storyline there's also good acting form all the players and an amazing acting from Liv Ullmann. Her fans will surely enjoy this.
